Surprisingly Amazing!
Absolutely amazing! This was a five star experience from beginning to end. I booked this tour as we, party of 7, were on the NCL Dawn for the day and needed an excursion to Schotia and the cruise line was sold out. We are so glad we booked this tour with Walter (Driver and Planner) and our guide Eddy. We were met at the port by Eddy and driven up to Schotia where we met up with Walter. We transferred into the Safari vehicle and began our Safari. When I say we were not ready, we were not ready for the elephants that ran up to the vehicle. It was amazing!! We saw 3 of the big five and countless miscellaneous animals. One thing that stood out is our guide Eddy clearly knew this reserve very well. He knew every animal species, how to interact with them and how to properly react to the animals behavior. To top this off, we were treated to an amazing lunch. I highly recommend this company. Truly looking forward to keeping in touch and if we ever return, we will definitely be contacting Walter.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review. God bless you and ae look forward to see you soon again

Overnight stay in Addo elephant Park and sundowner and sunrise game drives
We loved our 24 hrs in Addo. We saw lions hundreds of elephants (there are 700 in the park) hyenas buffalo warthogs tortoises zebras koodos jackals secretary birds ostrich etc. We stayed overnight in a comfortable chalet in the restcamp to do the sundowner and 5.30am sunrise game drives. After that we drove ourselves 3 times and while we loved every drive and enjoyed driving ourselves, we saw many more animals with a guide. Our guide Ryan knew just where we might find animals. For instance he heard a lion roar and stopped and waited, we saw it as a speck in the distance. Ryan raced around and parked near the lion and as we waited the lion walked right by us. On our own we would have missed it completely. Our 3rd drive was when we drove in at the north and out at the south on our way to the airport enjoying the scenery while in the open ground seeing all the game grazing. After our 24hrs in the park up at 5 etc we were exhausted and loved staying nearby at Geralds Gift for a couple of days relaxation before heading home. The food in the rest camp restaurant was surprisingly good and they had WiFi too.

Great adventure with Walter
Walter was very good with his communications, was on time to pick us up, and went beyond our time to make sure we saw as much as possible. He is very knowledgeable about Addo, it's history and animals, and is also very entertaining. Our only advice is to make sure vehicle windows are cleaned and work properly before each tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your comment . We will in future make sure we have descent utilities to keep windows clean . It's unfortunate that It was an early drive and had passed through an area with heavy fog prior to arrival . We hope to see you again in the near future . Best regards Walter

Schotia open vehicle safari game drive maximum 16 pax: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Port Elizabeth.
How much does Schotia open vehicle safari game drive maximum 16 pax cost?
+
Prices start at $192 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Port Elizabeth usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Schotia open vehicle safari game drive maximum 16 pax take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Port Elizabeth is not rushed.
Is Schotia open vehicle safari game drive maximum 16 pax worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Port Elizabeth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Schotia open vehicle safari game drive maximum 16 pax?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Schotia open vehicle safari game drive maximum 16 pax suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Schotia open vehicle safari game drive maximum 16 pax?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Port Elizabeth can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Port Elizabeth and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Schotia open vehicle safari game drive maximum 16 pax start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Port Elizabeth within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Port Elizabeth?
+
On Outty we rank every Port Elizabeth experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale, Dolphin & Penguin Island Cruise, Addo Elephant Full Day Safari with a Traditional South African Braai (BBQ) Lunch, Addo Elephant National Park All Inclusive Full-Day Safari. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Port Elizabeth?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Port Elizabeth?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
